Having watched this before, I know I will never watch Encanto the same way as I did in the past.

What Drives Women to Kill? Emotion & Threat, Not Psychopathy

Contrary to stereotypes, women who kill rarely display psychopathy or calculated motives, instead acting impulsively when provoked.
A Swedish forensic study found that women with and without severe mental disorders alike acted mainly under emotional stress rather than for gain.

Those with severe mental disorders showed some short-term planning but no evidence of elaborate schemes.
Most had histories of abuse or trauma, highlighting their vulnerability prior to the crime.
T
he study emphasizes the importance of addressing women’s violent thoughts in clinical and social settings to help prevent tragedies.

This nuanced understanding challenges assumptions about female violence and points to targeted prevention strategies.

Seriously though, how I wish healing is as straightforward as adding to cart what we want to process.

Sadly, it's not.

However, this should not deter us from healing. With healing comes resiliency - a nervous system that does not get stuck.

A nervous system that has the capacity to go to ventral vagal, where we are able to live life as how it should be lived - having the capacity to experience both painful and unwanted experiences as much as emotionally lifting ones.

“Do not ask your children
to strive for extraordinary lives.
Such striving may seem admirable,
but it is the way of foolishness.
Help them instead to find the wonder
and the marvel of an ordinary life.
Show them the joy of tasting
tomatoes, apples and pears.
Show them how to cry
when pets and people die.
Show them the infinite pleasure
in the touch of a hand.
And make the ordinary come alive for them.”
The extraordinary will take care of itself.

William Martin,The Parent's Tao Te Ching

Our Story

Trauma is a person’s subjective experience of extreme stress. Stress may come from various forms ranging from natural to man made disaster. It can be a single occurrence or repeated. It is multi-faceted. Any discussion on sources of extreme stress resulting in trauma can be made at length, but there is one sure fact for a trauma survivor, extreme subjective stress overwhelms a person’s capability to cope, leaving the trauma survivor feeling helpless.

Not all trauma survivors are left with debilitating psychological incapacitation. Most are able to move on and lead gainful lives. For some, trauma could leave them with a trail of psychological problems, such as depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, even psychosis. The possible psychological permutation is endless, as each one of us of is different from the next person. This, however, should not be cause for a sense of inferiority as we process traumatic experiences differently. Some are able to process the trauma by themselves, while others need help. There’s no shame in asking for help.

As somebody who has been helping persons with trauma, I subscribe to Carl Gustav Jung’s supposition, “People start to heal the moment they felt heard.” With the help of Somatic Experiencing, one can find a space within oneself not activated by trauma, or a physical place to retreat to in one’s mind. By allowing one’s body to experience the sensations related to the traumatic event in a safe way, one is able to process the trauma.

Trauma processing is a lot of work. It is mostly painful. It could even take years to process traumatic experiences. The Healing Space does not promise to magically vanish the psychological pain of trauma - pain that stops one from fully experiencing the beauty of life, but will be wholeheartedly committed in being with the trauma survivor throughout the processing of the painful experience.
